Let's build a playground together in Luxor

Volunteers in Luxor are raising $500 for a playground at the Lotus community hall.

Luxor
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus community hall, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 470 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in February and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $500 goes: • Materials: $390 • Permits and inspections: $35 • Safety equipment and signage: $15 • Tools hire and delivery: $60 Thank you for reading my story. - Hassan

  • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Luxor!

    • Thank you. If you're in Luxor I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

  • Praying for you. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Luxor.

    • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hassan!

      • Sure. The biggest one is materials, $390. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

      Thinking of you and your family. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Blessings.

      • Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

        • Best of luck, Hassan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Charlotte.

          • Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Mar del Plata.

            • Wishing you peace, Hassan. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Nijmegen.
